Louisianans can now register for their Shot At A Million, a campaign totaling $2.3 million in cash and scholarship giveaways designed to reward residents who have taken or who choose to get their COVID-19 vaccine.
Starting June 21, residents have 19 days to get their first shot and register for the first two Shot At A Million prizes, $100,000 in cash and one $100,000 scholarship, which will be announced July 14. There will be new winners announced each week after that, culminating with the grand prize winners, who must register by July 31.
People only have to register one time to be included in each subsequent weekly drawing and those who are already vaccinated against COVID-19 are eligible, in addition to any resident who chooses to get at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine over the next six weeks.
As of Monday, June 21, 1,566,120 Louisianans are fully vaccinated and a total of 1,726,785 Louisianans have taken at least one dose, according to Louisiana Department of Health data. Any current Louisiana resident 12 or older who has already received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine or who will get at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine by the end of July is eligible for the Shot At A Million giveaway.
Visit ShotAtAMillion.com when you have taken your first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and complete the online registration form.
Residents who do not have access to the internet or who have questions can call the toll-free hotline at 877-356-1511 to register.
Louisiana residents who have taken at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and are age 18 or older may enter to win one of four $100,000 prizes and the grand prize of $1 million. Louisianans who have taken at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and are between the ages of 12 and 17 may enter to win one of nine $100,000 scholarships.
Louisianans are eligible if they have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine before the drawing date – regardless of when they were vaccinated. ■
